The Curious Table in Hambleton

A bit disappointed today... the room was very cold.. our hands and legs was cold... App wasn't working to refer friends so they could both get the top ip £5.and get 10 on ur card.. was expecting them to save some money today.. ended up spending £45 between the 3 of us... to freeze.. we won't be back. Plenty of other coffee houses for us to frequent..

We arrived @ 3.58pm & the close at 4 o’clock. They showed us to a table inside. We ordered two coffees & a brownie. Everything was great & the staff didn’t rush us out. I would definitely recommend the coffee shop!!!

Nice quiet and clean coffee shop with a lovely atmosphere and the coffee and brownies were excellent. The staff were helpful and friendly.

What a disappointing experience having been many times before. Took ages to finally get served by an older lady who was not friendly or welcoming in the slightest . Brownies we ordered where not fresh tasted dry . Won.t be rushing back .

A wonderful coffee and brunch this morning at this little gem. We just beat the 11am coffee rush but even as all the tables were taken, the service was still spot on. A friendly young man suggested cheese on my husband’s sausage and bacon roll - which was appreciated and enjoyed. Mushrooms were wonderful too. It was a pleasure to find a cafe that boasts of its coffee, with coffee that lives up to the boasting! Thank you we will be back

Lazy Sunday motorbike ride from Barnsley .....lovely roads there and a fantastic breakfast in a lovely village nothing to beat it. Will be returning soon ladies. We'll done and thank you

Popped in for a coffee and some Breakfast with the family. All fresh and tasty great atmosphere Carys served us and she was very attentive an enjoyable trip all round, would highly recommend.

Fabulous food, friendly chatty staff, great prices and a good atmosphere. Have been coming here for 10 years in Easingwold. Thanks all. Andy.

We visited the curious coffee company today, as we have done so for a few years now. I rarely go on Trip Advisor either to read or post; however, Amy is definitely worthy of a mention for all the right reasons. She always greets you with a massive smile, trying to obtain you the best table available. Her service is impeccable, and she isn’t flustered when challenging customers who wish to rearrange their menu choices. Today, she spotted a lady who forgot her gloves some weeks ago, and she promptly furnished her with the lost property. She has downloaded the app for me, making payments efficient, cost-effective and informative. If I could give six stars, I would. I love from two good sorts from Thirsk. Oh, and the food is outstanding.

Poor service - was shown to a table, no one came to take my order so had to ask someone to take it. Waitresses were wearing nail polish, a professional place should know this is not done. Won’t return.

Lovely find in a beautiful village / town. Stopped off after a rather wet dog walk looking for something for lunch and the cafe didnt disappoint. Lovely range of dishes and also cakes, wish we had left space to have one. Highly recommend the bacon sandwich, to die for.

What friendly staff from the moment we walked in. Gorgeous proper barista style coffee, fab cheesy chips and bacon sandwich.

Popped in with Mum last week end of May 2023,We still like this cafe very much but im not happy they have changed the smoothies plus the price has increased to £4.50!! Wow! Expensive! I asked why? Oh the staff said,now we use REAL FRUIT ! ?? so did they use fake fruit before? Tinned fruit im guessing.I had a Bacon and sausage chia bread bap which was a bit greasy but tasty and filling,mum had the usual thick chia toast,she had a latte,they serve it luke warm! So ask for extra hot!! I had a cheaper type of cold latte with too much ice in it.We used to have the scrambled eggs and bacon on toast but you need to take out a mortgage to afford such luxuries there now!

Popped in for breakfast this week and was treated by really friendly staff. I’d seen a breakfast ‘stack’ let’s call it, on Facebook and mentioned I couldn’t see it on the menu. The staff member said they could put something together similar and it did not disappoint. My only criticism would be there was only smoked bacon-but I’m aware this is a person preference so certainly not a complaint! The hot chocolate was some of the tastiest we’ve had in a while! Will definitely be back!!

Very Friendly staff, great coffee and food plus amazing brownies 😍. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area!!

We called in for breakfast with our grandchildren. The place was really busy . We were shown to a table and our order was taken . My wife and kids chose the bacon sandwich which was really good . I chose the scrambled eggs…. This was possibly the best scrambled eggs I have ever had 👍 We will definitely be returning 😉

Excellent kate lunch today with my husband, great service food amazing chips are the best we have ever eaten. Loved it I had chicken Caesar and my husband had the sausage roll just prefect. See you again soon

Very cramped place just a few too many tables. Creamy Mushrooms excellent. French Toast dreadful. Instead of being slices of bread it was 2 hunks of bread about 3 inches thick. Looked awful. The Maple syrup was missing. A waste of money.

Polite staff cosy atmosphere. Didnt eat but food looked amazing. Hot chocolate was really nice. Will definitely return to try the food in future

Delicious brunch at an excellent price. Love their chia bread. Friendly staff. My husband said the brownie was like a little piece of heaven! Highly recommend.

Usually have a coffee and snack as a takeaway and find the coffee nice and strong without being bitter. We like the small piece of brownie dispensed with each cup which has tempted us to purchase larger, full-size pieces and it really is a delicious gooey delight. I haven’t given full marks because the prep area is very small and busy and it takes a while to make up the order, but quality is excellent.

Went on the recommendations of where to have coffee in Easingwold and wasnt disppointed.The hot chocolate was very chocolaty and the scone was cherry and almond,It was lovely.My husbands bacon sandwich was as he asked for with well done bacon.

Sorry Eddy, but you used to be good. But the last few times we visited, the service has been, quite frankly, very poor. Last time in we had a waitresses spilling our coffee and just walking away, and the latest we were shown to a...

This Cafe is one of our favourites we recently drove 20 miles each way from Harrogate to have a drink here,I love the smoothies,and the chia bread thick toast.Lovely cakes too and all food here is great!

Friendly, fast service with amazing coffee and brownies that are unbeaten! New regular visitors. Five stars!

I visit Easingwold every two months with my mother.Our first visits about ten years ago resulted in us visiting Tee Hee cafe,then Sugar Mouse cafe then the Curious table cafe and we've stayed loyal for a number of years now.Shame they got rid of the...

We found this little coffee shop last year and always make an effort to call in whenever we’re in the area. Eddie and his staff are lovely. The hot chocolate is delicious and includes a small cube of brownie! The bacon buns are scrumptious especially...

Perfect - every time. From their renowned brownies and consistently exceptional coffee when you’re just popping in, right through to sitting down with colleagues for lunch - the Curious Coffee Co. led by Eddie is, quite simply, excellent. You will not be disappointed.

My coffee and brownie treat just got easier with the app! When I’m in the area I always love to pop in and get a takeaway (or sit inside if I have time) and now I can order on the fly and pick up when...

This Cafe is Great! And deserves a five star rating.We drive the 20 miles from Harrogate every two months to visit Easingwold and have been doing so for about 8years.We worked our way round the cafes here but found Curious table the best.We often just...

This place is ok. I've visited a couple of times. Probably the best coffee and cakes/breakfast in Easingwold & Thirsk combined. Stay away at Easter time as the Creme Egg Brownies probably aren't for you. The staff are nice and friendly. I would recommend :)

Lovely food and good coffee. Food came quickly and was presented beautifully. Good portions too. Staff member was pleasant, however whilst disinfecting the adjacent table she managed to spray both my husband and one year old which is why I have given 3 out of...

A pleasant weekend meet up with friends after lockdown relaxation. On a nice day it was great to eat outdoors on a picnic bench on the adjacent green. The coffee was excellent and the sandwiches on the specials board were excellent. Staff were very busy...

Great place to relax in the sunshine we have been having. Smoothies and coffee is sensational! And the bacon sandwich was bang on! Absolutely perfect!

I popped in for breakfast with a friend after staying over locally the day before and we had delicious take away food and coffee that was prepared really quickly. I then, somehow, managed to drop my purse somewhere in the vicinity and not only did...

We have visited the curious coffee company in both Haxby and Easingwold for the last few years. However, I have never written a review. After our visit today I thought I better sing the praises of this excellent little indie business. Today we were served...

I think covid 18 has gone to their heads - asked if I could charge my GameBoy here while I had a coffee and they said I would have to wait until I got home. I hate not having charge in my GameBoy so didn't...

Thought I would visit this cafe on a friend's recommendation with my daughter who's 9 months old. Told I had to leave the pushchair outside otherwise I would not be allowed in. Couldn't leave the pushchair outside as it was raining . Daughter upset and needed feeding.

Both of us had been very impressed with this little place before so decided to go again for a coffee and cake treat. Coffee and cake were lovely but the lady serving us was not very friendly. Maybe she was having a bad day but we didn't feel particularly welcome.

This cafe is right next to the market place and green. I had a very good avocado toast, served with a few sweet tomatoes on top and on very nice bread. Very clean and well set up for Covid measures.

This is a lovely little cafe that enjoys indoor and outdoor seating. It also takes marked Covid precautions. I got the sense that it is a popular cafe for locals, testament to its reputation. It is reasonably priced and food certainly hit the spots - poached eggs done to perfection. It just didn't quite hit the 5/5 mark but that's no particular slight. Per the above, certainly recommended.

Would absolutely recommend this delightful little place to anyone - delicious food, great drinks, friendly service and a really welcoming and comfortable interior. A little bit pricey but really nice overall.

We visited as a family of 5 for coffee and cake.Kids got cheesey chips and a cokeThe coffee was very nice and the carrot cake was amazing!Only cost us £29 for us All to eat and drink which I think is reasonable.Friendly and efficient service.

I Love this cafe and I love Easingwold,Ok not a great deal to do here but always friendly relaxing smart this is The town and the Curious Table!.Although now our favourite cafe has been revamped and very nice it is too! But we have lost the individual old tables with built in sewing machines etc that gave the Curious Table cafe it's name but to be honest those old tables were a bit hazardous at times.I visited on Thursday lunchtime with my girlfriend and my mum.We had a tea,A latte and a lovely smoothie plus scones and toast.All as good as ever.Worth the 20 mile drive from Harrogate especially as the roads are so nice.Always a warm welcome in Easingwold.

This was our second visit as we had remembered how good it was the last time we were passing through Easingwold. The service is welcoming and friendly. The quality of the food and drinks is great and there is a really nice atmosphere. I particularly liked my special tea pot!

Everything to like, freshly prepared food and coffee. Friendly service and lovely staff. It is always packed which says everything considering how many coffee shops there are in Easingwold.

Crikey. It was so busy but the staff remained calm and welcoming even under such pressure. Didn’t have too long to wait. Was it worth it? A resounding YES.

The scrambled eggs seem to have changed and was very disappointing when we visited this week. So much so that we doubt we'll go back.

Great cafe keeps improving.Friendly clean lovely food and yummy latte.Chia bread toast and scones very nice.French toast with fruut on top looks nice.Yummy cakes.Best Cafe in Easingwold!

the presentation of presenting the coffee and cake was extremely presented to us the staff helpful and friendly ,it was the best coffee we had and we thanked the staff . It's such a nice place and recommend to all people. It is a must

Myself and twocothers recently visited this establishment with high hopes of greatness due to the positive reviews wehad seen. Unfortunately this was not the case. Upon arrival, we each found two members of staff to be rude and seemingly unwilling to show any sign of welcome. After a long time waiting for the food we ordered, we had our plates slapped on to the table and the waitress stormed off rather than asking us if we would like another drink. We each ordered from the lunchtime menu and I can only describe the food as horrible and way overcooked. I mentioned this to a member of staff and she advised me that she would come back and then never did, leaving me very unsatisfied with my plate. My colleague was that hungry, she held her breath and ate her food, trying not to taste the burnt edges upon each swallow. Later that day she left work early due to sickness and diarrhoea, which must have erupted from the horrid food she ate at lunch. I would highly suggest to anyone visiting that they visit an alternative establishment for food nearby

We're just called in for afternoon tea and felt we were not welcome so miserable and could only look at her watch when we were trying to decide what to order.. all we asked was is there somewhere to see the cakes and would she show me. The answer was in there and I'm not going back in there yet!!! So sad when it's the staff that ruins the experience....

Absolutely great coffee, the best in Easingwold for sure! When served by the owner always in and out with a takeaway in no time, have had to cancel a couple of orders when been other serving staff

Reached this midway on a longer than planned cycle ride so a welcome sight after 25 miles. Choice of sitting inside in light airy space, outside at tables or on bean bags on the adjacent green. Served quickly by friendly staff. Nice light lemon and blueberry scones served with yummy tart lemon curd. Lots of other tempting choices and will return for breakfast sometime. Coffee very good and water there to help yourself to. Didn't want to leave. Both for the relaxing environment, tempting menu and tired legs. Will return.

Regular stop for me mid cycle whenever I'm near. Hands down refuse to (a) try anywhere else, or (b) go near without stopping here. The brownies are the best around - absolutely no exaggeration!! Love you guys!

I reviewed this place back in 2015, 4 years on and it still excels. The coffee is a fabulous blend and is still a joy to the palette. The menu still includes the outstanding Caesar salad, which was outstanding! We also had the Chilly bowl with chips, another winner with big chunks of beef on top of chips - crackingly good!

We continue to truly love coming here especially because the coffee is excellent but mainly because of the warm, friendly atmosphere. The service is brilliant. Eddie, the owner, choses the most lovely people, to be his staff, always a smile and chat, ready to help. Special mention of Tom who makes a great coffee and is obliging, efficient and professional. The others know who they are. Thank you for always being there for us. Stay as you are and don't change! We love you!

If I'm served by the owner, brilliant he is very quick. However, the other male barista is the opposite, if i see he is serving I will often leave as it can take 5- 10 mins for takeaway, which makes me late for work. Great coffee though!

Quite a regular here on sitting in here and never problem before. On this particular day, I didn’t have time to sit in so thought I’d grab a takeaway latte which is usually lovely, but on this occasion it was like dish water. But to add insult to injury was left standing by the takeaway counter for quite some time, and the man behind the counter didn’t even acknowledge me (too busy on his phone)! The women in the kitchen were engrossed in watching YouTube videos and didn’t even look at me! Eventually a waitress came from the front and kindly took my order and went back and again I was left standing. Waiting for my coffee the barista never came off his phone or even a thank you. Sitting in great, take out not.

Food good, but floor staff still to grasp the simple concept of customer service...Came in and waited by the door whilst a waitress just sat there eating food. Obviously on her break, but acknowledgement would have been good. Sat ourselves after a while and a waitress came over, no smile, no “hello how are you” just “what do you want?”. Don’t seem to be pedantic, but after working in the industry for years, a spot of common report building and a smile are some of the basic notions that encourage people to eat out...... rather than banging a M&S; meal in the oven. The server however, didn’t forget to tell us that she was in fact vegan though. Maybe some training and a little Prozac?

A friend of mine recommended this place as a good stop off en route back to York from Thirsk. We weren’t disappointed.

Great breakfast - Scrambled egg and bacon on super toasted bread and eggs/beans and the best-tasting mushrooms for my veggie lady. And super smiley staff who seemed genuinely interested that everything was fine. It was ! And though I live and work in Manchester, met an old work colleague by chance.

Myself and my fiancé popped into The Curious Table today for a spot of tea and salted caramel brownies (a must!) One word; wow. Hands down the best brownie I’ve ever had! The staff were very welcoming and I think the prices were fair. If we are ever in the area we will be going back for sure.

We stopped by for lunch when visiting Easingwold with our dog in tow. The food was lovely and portions generous. The fruit smoothie (peach I think) was delicious.

Just popped in for coffee on our way up north. When we saw the food we just couldn't resist! I had coffee and cake, the others had an enormous sausage and bacon sandwich. Nicely cooked, beautifully presented by attentive and polite staff. Gets its name from the tables that are made from various industrial items. A great talking point!

Visited on market day (Friday) so all the local cafes / restaurants were pretty full. Easingwold is a bustling town on market day. It was a cold day so patrons were huddled in large coats but we managed to squeeze into a corner for a coffee and light snack. Seating is a little squashed. The tables were a quite curious but seating could do with an upgrade. Service was quite quick for such a busy time and the coffee was quite good without being overpowering.

We popped in here for a snack and drink and were lucky to get a seat as it is obviously very popular. The staff were very friendly and the menu was varied. The food we ordered ( teacake and cheesy chips) came quickly and tasted delicious. Lots to choose from including some delicious looking cakes at the counter. Maybe next time!!

Myself and my mother are quite regular Easingwold visitors its approx 20 miles from Harrogate but i love the roads via Boroughbridge.There isnt lots to do in Easingwold but its got a lovely relaxed feel here and plenty of cafes but The Curious table is our favourite and keeps at the top of the list of best cafes.The Chia bread toast is Yummy! The food in general good and lovely coffees.

I called in here following a recommendation from a friend and I wasn’t disappointed. From the moment I entered this coffee shop it had a cosy, friendly feel. The staff were on hand and really welcoming. The coffee was excellent and reasonably priced. There is a really great menu ranging from breakfast and lunch items to mid morning snacks and sweet treats. The food and drink are all very well presented, with generous portions.

Regular haunt for a Cafe stop whilst out for our rides. Great Coffee with a lovely selection of homemade Cakes on offer to fuel the winter miles. Friendly staff and good value.

Popped in here for a light lunch after giving up with the mayhem at the Designer Outlet at York.

This is just such a great place to eat. We’ve been in before and had their excellent brownies but today we were passing through and stopped for breakfast - it was excellent. Something as simple as eggs on toast done right makes a great start to the day. The bread they use for the toast is brilliant - thick and crusty. We had a very good hot chocolate and green tea too. The staff were great with the kids - giving them a little bit of brownie with their drinks - and were happy to let our son just have sausages. Put simply, it’s great food and great service.

This is the fourth time we have visited the Curious Table in Easingwold. Lucky enough to get the last available table. Despite the busy environment we were served quickly. Excellent coffee and a generous portion of Chocolate Brownie required a take away bag. Consistently excellent and friendly service with equally matched food and drink. Thank you.

Great food and drink and lovely staff. Good if your gluten free. Lovely atmosphere and also allow pets.

Great little cafe in Easingwold, would highly recommend.

Wow what a great place. We met friends for coffee and cake this weekend and they suggested The Curious Table would be a good place to chat. They were not wrong. This little gem of a place in the small country town of Easingwold is wonderful. The cakes were delicious and the hot chocolates and coffees perfect.

Visited this great cafe today,its always good,I think it keeps up its good standards as there are lots more cafes in Easingwold that compete with it.The Cheese scones are well presented with butter plus chutney plus cream cheese and although tasty are a bit pricey?at £3.45.A large latte is £2.55 which is fairly cheap although we asked for them to be extra hot id say they were Extra warm not very hot but tasty but the latte is strong tasting so if you dont like strong coffee ask them to make it a bit weaker.The Chia bread toast is yummy although you get just two slices and served with butter and jam but again i think its a little pricey at £2.95.The different tables are interesting although ive banged my legs on them sometimes.But all in all a great Cafe.

Whenever we are in the area we always visit the Curious Table. The scones are always first class, as is the lemon curd! and the coffee is pretty good too!

Whilst on a bike ride my friend and I needed some coffee and a chance to recharge our batteries. As we entered Easingwold, my friend suggested this cafe. I wasn't disappointed, it's a lovely place and the service was swift and our coffees and Tcakes were with us no time at all. The coffee was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tcake also came with jam, a very nice touch. I'll definitely go again.

The most gorgeous coffee, beautiful fresh homemade food - and amazing brownies!!!!! My most loved coffee shop in York. Fabulous staff and you are always made to feel so welcome, Thank you x

We called here on Sunday primarily for a coffee but were so impressed by the menu that we stayed for lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed my cheese platter with lovely bread and my husband’s chilli beef bowl was equally tasty. We bought two types of chocolate brownie to take home and they were the best I have ever tasted.

Having checked the reviews to find a nice cafe/coffee shop in North Yorkshire, The Curious Table seemed like the perfect place and location to meet with a business colleague before our lunch time meeting.

Visited with a patient last year and forgot to leave a review gorgeous friendly little cafe in Easingwold delicious home made food. Staff were very welcoming and friendly nothing to much for them. It got really busy while we were there but they managed to get people seated in a quick timely manor. We had to take some of the cakes away for the rest of the staff back at work which they appreciated very much. Will be returning for sure.

Stopped here for lunch last week on the way to see friends. Lovely surroundings and friendly efficient staff, but the star of the show was the food. I had the pate with the most gorgous thick toast I’ve ever tasted. It came with butter and onion marmalade and was flipping gorgous. The coffee was also good. The cakes looked amazing but I managed to resist! If we lived closer, we’d be frequent visitors but we’ll definitely go back when we’re next in the area.

Good coffee, very good mushrooms on toast. On full English eggs overcooked but otherwise good, Seemed lively and busy.

Situated in the centre of town we had a wonderful family lunch here. Helpful friendly service and an interesting menu. Platters, sandwiches and other choices none of them expensive are on offer. Space to eat outside, and tables with bases of sewing machines and other machines hence the name. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal here

I upped the rating from the 4.5 which I would have given. The salami and blue cheese pannini was very tasty, and the salad garnish was good but not inspired.

We needed breakfast before our 250 mile drive home, and this little place leapt out of the Tripadvisor app with amazing reviews.

We’ve been reluctant to visit The Curious Table due to an unfortunate incident in their sister cafe in Haxby where we were ignored for around half an hour. But that was some time ago and we had no such problem in this Easingwold establishment. In fact service was rather good and cheerful, especially considering we were outside on a small terrace. Our food was delivered quickly enough. Our companions had toasted tea cakes that they enjoyed and my wife chose a toasted sandwich which she praised highly. I went for a more substantial Curious Platter which comprised two large chunks of fresh bread, some houmous that was remarkably light, a dish of olives, some flaked (but very tasty)Yorkshire Ham and a good sized wedge of blue cheese (possibly Harrogate Blue) along with a reasonable Pork Pie and the usual salad garnish. Not bad value at all and excellent quality with good service.

My daughter and I stopped off for an early lunch here on the way to The Great Yorkshire Show and we were not disappointed!

Visited intending to just have a coffee but as I run a kitchen in the area I wanted to sample the curious table breakfast! I chose the split shot coffee which I think is a great idea! I would prefer my flat white in a coffee cup but the glass did look good! I went for a full English minus mushrooms and thought it tasted lovely, I would like to have the option of brown or white bread usually but the bread what of great quality. The service was friendly and fast....my fav part was the split shot which I’ll be back for again! Thanks!

Personally the best breakfast in town. It get's very busy so get there early.... You can't book a table and if you do have to wait, it's worth it

Looking forward to one of the best Breakfast experiences in North Yorkshire arrived to find my favorite eating place heaving with cyclists who having avoided on the way whilst they wobbled on the roads, oblivious to other road users they were also oblivious to the customers who were faced with the off putting sights of sweaty Lycra on seats. They don't add trade merely displace regulars whilst consuming very little. Found another spot in this excellent food town who although lacking the imaginative menu appear not to be on the Cyclist places to swamp.

Have been here a few times now as I work around the corner. Would strongly recommend the famous Easingwold brownies and they do Britains best hot chocolate! Also in choc orange!! A definitely recommended to me people visiting Easingwold. Enjoy!! 💞

I scour the country for cheese scone excellence and the Curious Table leapt into the top 5 with their offering yesterday. It was warm, came with butter, cream cheese and tasty chutney. And best cup of tea I have had for a long while - loose leaf and kept hot in a Japanese cast iron pot. I’m a convert. Other diners looked very happy. Atmosphere and staff chilled and friendly. Avoid the crush of York and visit here, soon!

We often call for breakfast when en route for York. The menu is varied with much choice by my favourite is the French Toast....always served hot & delicous piled with varied fresh fruit...it is perfect to set you up for a hard days shopping in the city!! Coffee is always spot on, whichever option you choose & service is perfect. We recently called in for a light lunch of homemade pate & delicious homemade soup. This is a little gem... it is small but beautifully formed..the only down side is that it can get crowded...small wonder!!

Great coffee and a great price. Lovely food. However can get full very quickly so sometimes struggle to get a seat if theres a few of you.

It's amazing the amount of "boutique" Tea rooms and Cafes that rely on local produce "provenance" and trendy grey walls and forget that they also have to understand presentation and taste before they achieve excellence. Even though The curious table has all the above it has the one essential that's sometimes missing.....Staff that obviously enjoy what they do and perhaps more importantly prepare superb imaginative food with frankly excellent value. One day all tea rooms will be like this, but for now it's worth any detour.

I visited The Curious Table at lunch today with my mum who is lactose intolerant.

Went with friends who are regulars. The place is quirky & interesting which I liked. A very good range of options on the menu. I choose a wrap with beef, pomegranate & salad which was delicious and came with green salad and a coleslaw type - all good. Also had a potion of homemade chips which were perfect. Would definitely recommend & look forward to going back soon.
